Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Cup Onion -- minced
2 Teaspoons Garlic -- minced
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Lb Fresh Spinach (1 Lg.Bunch) -- wash, stems removed
Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper
Freshly Grated Nutmeg
2 Medium Red Bell Peppers
1 Tablespoon Butter -- softened
6 Large Eggs
1 tbsp Minced Fresh Herbs
2/3 c Asiago Or Parmesan Cheese -- coarsely grated
8 oz Dungeness Crab Meat -- well picked over
Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil over moderate heat until soft but
not brown. While onions are cooking, blanch the spinach in lightly salted
boiling water for a few seconds until wilted. Drain and immediately plunge
into ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Drain again and
gently squeeze as much of the moisture as possible out of the spinach with
a clean tea towel. Coarsely chop spinach and combine with onion mixture.
Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Over an open flame or under a broiler, char peppers on all sides. Remove
and cover loosely with plastic for a few minutes to sweat and then scrape
off charred skin with the point of a knife. Remove and discard seeds and
stems and cut peppers into long thick slices.
Lightly butter or oil a small terrine or loaf pan (8x4x2 1/2 inches) and
line the bottom with buttered waxed paper or parchment.
Beat the eggs briefly together with the herbs and season with salt and
pepper. Layer one third of spinach mixture on bottom of pan. Top with 1/3
of roasted red pepper, 1/3 of the cheese and 1/3 of the crab. Pour about a
third of the egg mixture over and gently tap pan and poke mixture to evenly
distribute eggs. Continue layering in this way.
Place terrine in a larger baking pan and pour enough hot tap water to come
at least 2/3 of the way up the sides of the terrine. Place in a preheated
325 degree oven, cover with parchment or foil and bake in a preheated 325
degree oven until eggs are just set. Remove from water bath and let sit
15-20 minutes before unmolding if serving warm.
